C.'s role in the library
As the newly appointed South Asian Studies librarian, a new position at Stanford, I am responsibe for building the library's collection of materials from and about South Asia in English, European languages, and the regional languages of South Asia. This involves building a network of antiquarian dealers, book vendors, scholars, publishers, and libraries in South Asia. Apart from responding to faculty teaching needs I work in collaboration with the South Asia Center and its affiliates to provide research assistance to faculty, students, and other library users.
